@eggtimer There hs been a recent upgrade to mplayer. Have you downloaded this from the repos? Once i downloaded the upgrade, I went in to TVCplayer Mplayer options and set to "speed". Works fine for me on 3g and wifi. May be more help on the main TVCplayer thread tho?
I really do not want to overclock my device. Considering it worked in the past suggests there has to be a way to get it working again at stock speed
